Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In similar triangles, corresponding sides are in same ratio
Cross multiply,
7*(x + 8) = 6*(3x -9 )
7x + 7*8 = 6*3x - 6*9
7x + 56 = 18x - 54
56 = 18x - 7x -54
56 = 11x - 54
11x - 54 = 56
11x = 56 +54
11x = 110
x = 110 /11
x = 10
PR = 3x -9
= 30 - 9
PR = 21
~ Simplifying
-2(7x + -5) = -14x + 10
~ Reorder the terms:
-2(-5 + 7x) = -14x + 10
(-5 * -2 + 7x * -2) = -14x + 10
(10 + -14x) = -14x + 10
~ Reorder the terms:
10 + -14x = 10 + -14x
~ Add '-10' to each side of the equation.
10 + -10 + -14x = 10 + -10 + -14x
~ Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
0 + -14x = 10 + -10 + -14x
-14x = 10 + -10 + -14x
~ Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
-14x = 0 + -14x
-14x = -14x
~ Add '14x' to each side of the equation.
-14x + 14x = -14x + 14x
~ Combine like terms: -14x + 14x = 0
0 = -14x + 14x
~ Combine like terms: -14x + 14x = 0
0 = 0
~ Solving
0 = 0
~ This equation is an identity, all real numbers are solutions.
The correlation coefficient r of the data set is <em>-0.28</em>
We are given
x1 = 10 ft
y1 = 14 ft
x2 = 13 ft
y2 = 9 ft
We are asked to find the distance between the base of the house to the closest treetop.
So,
d1 = √(10² + 14²) = 17.20
d2 √(13² + 9²) = 15.81
The distance is 15.81 ft to the closest treetop which is the tree 13 feet from the base of the house.
The new coordinates are (3, 1)
